I'm Still Here - Vertical Horizon

I found the pieces in my hand 
They were always there 
It just took some time for me to understand 
You gave me words I just can't say 
So if nothing else 
I'll just hold on while you drift away 

Cause everything you wanted me to hide 
Is everything that makes me feel alive 

CHORUS: 
The cities grow the rivers flow 
Where you are I'll never know 
But I'm still here 
If you were right and I was wrong 
Why are you the one who's gone 
And I'm still here 

I'm still here 

You've seen the ashes in my heart 
You smile the widest when I cry inside and my insides blow apart 
I try to wear another face 
Just to make you proud 
Just to make you put me in my place 

But everything you wanted from me 
Is everything that I could never be 

(chorus) 

Maybe tonight it's gonna be alright 
I will get better 
Maybe today it's gonna be okay 
I will remember 

I held the pieces of my soul 
I was shattered 
And I wanted you to come and make me whole 
Then I saw you yesterday 
But you didn't notice 
You just walked away 

Cause everything you wanted me to hide 
Is everything that makes me feel alive 

(chorus) 

The lights go out the bridges burn 
Once you go you can't return 
But I'm still here 
Remember how you used to say 
I'd be the one to run away 
But I'm still here 

I'm still here
